This morning, board the convenient shuttle option that will take you from Calgary Airport to the heart of the Rockies in Banff. Sit back and enjoy some of the most spectacular scenery in the world as you enter the majestic Canadian Rockies. Soar to the top of Sulphur Mountain to experience a stunning bird's-eye view of six incredible mountain ranges. With breathtaking vistas in every direction, you'll understand why this is a Canadian Rockies must-see destination. The adventure begins with an eight-minute journey to the summit of Sulphur Mountain in a modern, fully enclosed four-passenger gondola cabin. Glide up over the treetops to the crest of a steep-sided Rocky Mountain peak and step out into a jaw-dropping mountaintop experience at an elevation of 2,281metres (7,486 feet).

Overnight: Banff
Banff Sightseeing

Hike on steel walkways built into the canyon walls that give an airy view of the canyon below. Travel through prime wildlife habitat on your way to the trailhead and learn the clues to how Johnston Canyon was formed. This popular walk will lead you past the lower falls and to the breathtaking upper icefalls. In the afternoon, take a gondola and chairlift up past the tree line for a snowshoe adventure. Put on your gear and hike at the top of Sunshine Mountain through fresh powder and well-groomed trails. A guide will take you through back-country treks in this mountaintop experience.

Overnight: Banff
Banff - Lake Louise (Small Coach)

This morning, depart on a sightseeing tour of Lake Louise. A vast frozen lake surrounded by sparkling snow and an amphitheatre of snow-dusted mountain peaks – Lake Louise is postcard-perfect in winter. Enjoy plenty of free time at the lake for independent activities, including sleigh rides, snowshoeing, ice skating and more.

The tour will go through the Maligne Valley in search of Osprey, eagle, big horn sheep, mountain goat, moose, elk, deer and bear. Next, stop at Maligne Canyon where 10,000 years of erosion have created a 165-foot deep gorge. Have your cameras ready as both areas are rich in wildlife and scenery. In the evening, enjoy a virtual guided tour in our domed theatre with a live local astronomy guide. Explore local First Nations constellations, see recent Northern Lights displays in Jasper, watch the Milky Way soar overhead, and journey into space for a view of Jasper Dark Sky Preserve from hundreds of km above, right to the edge of the universe.
